Miles Bridges’ ex now under temporary restraining order issued by Charlotte judge
A judge in Mecklenburg County granted a temporary restraining order against the ex-partner of Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges, according to court records.
That came after Bridges’ attorney, Sean Lindsey, alleged in an April 8 emergency motion that Mychelle Johnson booked a room at the Omni Hotel near the Spectrum Center before finding Bridges’ car and tampering with its tires while he was on court playing for the Hornets. The motion said it happened March 21, on Bridges’ birthday.
The motion alleges that someone who recognized Johnson crouching in the parking garage called her name, she fled to a stairwell, and then ran when security pursued her.
Law enforcement responded and did not find visible damage to Bridges’ vehicle, but advised his current girlfriend to request a restraining order against Johnson, the motion said.
The motion also said that she impersonated a fictitious woman and “fabricated a paternity claim to manipulate” Bridges’ lawyer into arranging a paternity test, then posted the correspondence on Instagram.
Johnson cannot contact Bridges or his girlfriend, stalk them or come within 500 feet of places Bridges works — like the Spectrum Center or “any practice facility or team facility of the Charlotte Hornets,” a Mecklenburg County judge ordered on April 14. She also must stay away from any hotel where the Hornets are staying.
Bridges is asking for sole custody of their four children.
Johnson has not been charged with a crime. Her attorney, Ginny Conley, said in a message that she would file a response next week.
The former couple has been in litigation since at least 2018, according to court records, and Bridges in 2022 pleaded no contest to a felony domestic violence charge in an incident involving Johnson.
The Hornets declined to comment.
Hearings in the case are scheduled for later this month and in June.
